Description

Valdivia is a bronze sculptural object by ANDEAN about the significance of religion within Latin American culture. It is an abstraction study that combines the Virgin Mary with the Venus of Valdivia, which represented fertility and motherhood in the pre-Columbian communities of the Ecuadorian coast.

The piece belongs to ÍCONOS, a creative and ethnographic exploration of the DNA and icons that make up Ecuadorian identity. The collection is a family of functional and sculptural objects based on the abstraction of Andean iconography and archetypes, an aesthetic exercise rooted in the soul, materials and talent of the Andean region.

ANDEAN’s practice explores Ecuador’s iconography and Latin American essence, with new items added to its ongoing collections every year. The bronze casting is by the artisan Carlos Pila.

Customization is available on request.
